After hiring a team of qualified teachers, January 2022 saw the beginnings of the joint education scheme starting to take place. Platform now supports schools in building cultural-capital with out-of-classroom experiences; helps schools to embed sustainable learning into their curriculum; and promotes access to future opportunities available to young people through train travel.

After conducting a lengthy feasibility study, we recruited a fabulous team of teachers, shaped the project name, branding, website and targets, and watched the concept grow from an idea to an award-winning, hugely oversubscribed education provision.

Platform helps teachers to build students’ knowledge of rail-safety, their understanding of sustainable and healthy travel, and their confidence, whilst supporting schools to embed sustainable learning into their curriculum and promote access to future opportunities available through train travel.

After little more than a year, over 3,500 pupils have joined Platform Rail on a journey they won’t forget, and expansion into new regions has begun.

One of our biggest successes with sustainability at its heart and now shortlisted for a Global Good Award!
